2. Flexibility and Convenience
Often given as the number one reason for choosing to work at home when you have children, the flexibility it provides is undeniable.
Quite often, people who work from home can make their own hours, choosing to work early in the morning, late at night, or during the daytime.
This capability delivers a high level of flexibility that gives stay-at-home moms the ability to schedule doctor and dental appointments easily. It also makes it possible for moms to attend school functions and teacher-parent meetings during the daytime.
It is this type of convenience that makes working from home such a desirable prospect for many parents, moms and dads alike.
Another benefit of working from home is the simple fact that you save on your commute. In fact, you have no commute at all. This scenario can add several minutes or a few hours back onto your day, giving you more time to spend with the children or complete household chores while they are at school. It also saves on the wear-and-tear of your vehicle, cuts down on the cost of fuel, and minimizes necessary repairs, giving you an added benefit of saving money when you work from home.
